When I set my work computer to "Allow users to connect
remotely" I begin getting lengthy popups that say my
computer is vulnerable to internet attacks. It tells me
to enter www.microsoft-info.com into an IE address to get
a patch to fix the problem and then tells me to click
Okay. Has anyone else seen this? Is it legit?
 
What does this popup look like? Does it have "Messenger" in the title
bar? If so, you need to enable a firewall on your machine (see
http://www.microsoft.com/protect for more information about ICF) Once
you enable ICF, you can go and enable access to Remote Desktop (again,
see the protect site listed above for more information).
